The Choirs of Southwell Minster

There are three choirs forming the Minster Music Foundation:

• The Minster Choir

The choir of men and boy choristers has a long and illustrious tradition stretching back over a thousand years. The choristers have always been educated at the Minster School; the gentlemen of the choir are either professional layclerks, who work in Southwell or nearby, or younger choral scholars who sing in the choir for perhaps just a year between leaving school and going to university.
